KUALA LUMPUR, 9 October 2026 (The Capital Post) – Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp) has launched the MyBakat initiative to strengthen Malaysia’s talent development ecosystem and address emerging workforce skills requirements.

Human Resources Minister Dato’ Sri Ramanan Ramakrishnan officiated the event, held under the theme “Bakat Negara, Nadi Malaysia”, marking a new phase in TalentCorp’s 15-year journey in advancing the national talent agenda.
The event also saw the introduction of two key initiatives: the National Talent Readiness Index Platform (MyTRI) and the MyBakat Incubation Programme (MyBIG).
